A Gritty Attempt That Proves Its Worth With Brilliance Written All Over It!
Baaram by director Priya Krishnaswamy is that film you get once in many years which deserves to be celebrated for its purity and unadulterated treatment, clubbed with a philosophical layer that questions the ways of our society.

hard-hitting social drama that questions your actions and thoughts, brutally! Go watch it for the love of cinema!

A necessary film
We would have liked Baaram more if it told the story of people, instead of an issue, Thalaikoothal. Nevertheless, we liked how Priya managed to present the film on her terms.(more)

A Shocking Truth And Many Wonderful Performers
Even the missteps in enunciating dialogues work in their favour and don't seem out of place. The live sound helped enhance the mood of the film, but the music had little effect on the story.(more)
